In this solo episode, Mia discusses the complex emotions that come with being sick. The guilt, the shame, and the pressure to "bounce back" as quick as possible. She unpacks how our culture’s obsession with productivity can make rest feel like a weakness instead of the deep necessity it truly is.
⁣Through personal reflections and gentle truths, Mia explores how choosing rest is a radical act of self-care and resistance. Whether you’re currently navigating your own healing or simply need a reminder that slowing down is okay, this episode is here to hold space for you babe !!!

In this solo episode, Simone speaks about the difficult but important topic of trauma bonds. A trauma bond happens when a victim of abuse develops a deep emotional attachment to their abuser, something that can feel as consuming as an addiction.

Discussion touches on:

• What trauma bonds are and how they form

• Why they’re so hard to leave

• The link between childhood experiences and adult relationships

• How trauma bonds can distort intuition and self-identity

• Practical steps for healing, from therapy and no contact to creative outlets and gentle movement

  
  

This episode is a reminder that leaving a trauma bond is not like a normal breakup - it requires patience, support, and rebuilding your sense of self. Whether you’re personally healing or supporting someone else, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and hope.

Peace & love forever,

Simone <3
